For Me and My Gal1917 Music by: George W. Meyer Lyrics by: Edgar Leslie, E. Ray Goetz
In 1917 America and the western world were deep into the first World War. But American composers were still producing the kind of songs that made the era’s music so memorable. Songs about love, life and the pursuit of happiness. One of the greatest is For Me And My Gal. First recorded by the then popular vaudeville team of Van and Schenck, the song was an immediate smash hit. Other performers immediately jumped on the bandwagon, including the great Fanny Brice, Eddie Cantor, George Jessel, Sophie Tucker, Belle Baker and Al Jolson; quite a famous cast!
